Cambridge completely dominated, raking in a total of 737 points, well clear of Barkly East High School, who ended second with 467 points in the final standings, and Hangklip High School (413) were third.

In individual events, three girl athletes achieved more than 800 points in their respective disciplines.

Abby Brummer, who runs the athletics programme at Barkly East, was pleased for their learners to have a chance to compete against the top athletics schools in the Eastern Cape.

Barkly East finished second in the boys and girls divisions, after they had raised money to hire a bus to get them to the event.

“We’re very grateful for this opportunity. Barkly East had an absolute blast. We feel privileged to have been able to compete today,” Brummer said.
